It's simple. A huge portion of teams out there exist because a dad didn't like how his DD was treated, didn't pitch enough, pitch enough games on Sundays, didn't bat 3rd in the order, or whatever infraction the coach did wrong in the dad's eyes. So, they create their own team where DD pitches all the big games and bats 3rd no matter what. Then, when they get to college, the coach has control and she finds out she isn't actually a #3 level hitter, or ace of a pitching staff. Of course, then they tell people the coach is an idiot and they enter the transfer portal. Wash, rinse, repeat.Not sure why pitchers (and catcher) parents have such a hard time understanding that.
